Sialic acids comprise a family of α-keto acids with a backbone skeleton consisting of nine carbon atoms. N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac or NANA; see Scheme 1) is the most common sialic acid and also the biosynthetic precursor of almost all known 50 members of this class.[1] Due to their exposed position at the distal end of oligosaccharide chains, sialic acids contribute to the biological properties of glyco-
